[ HOW TO CONNECT ]

Connect Cloudbet to Bifrost in three steps

Install Bifrost

Start the gateway locally or deploy in your VPC.

npx -y @maximhq/bifrost

Add Cloudbet in MCP Gateway

Open MCP Gateway in the Bifrost dashboard, click New MCP Server, and select the transport documented by the upstream server. Or register via the API below.

• Confirm the transport, command or endpoint, and authentication requirements in the Cloudbet upstream documentation.

• Replace every placeholder in the example before sending the request.

Point clients at Bifrost /mcp

Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to Cloudbet.

  "mcpServers": {
    "bifrost": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer vk_your_virtual_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

[ EXAMPLE CONFIG ]

Register Cloudbet via API

Add this MCP client with a POST to /api/mcp/client. See Connecting to MCP Servers for full options.

# For a remote HTTP or SSE server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "cloudbet",
    "connection_type": "<http|sse>",
    "connection_string": "<upstream MCP endpoint>",
    "tools_to_execute": ["*"]
  }'

# For a local STDIO server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "cloudbet",
    "connection_type": "stdio",
    "stdio_config": {
      "command": "<upstream command>",
      "args": ["<arg>"]
    },
    "tools_to_execute": ["*"]
  }'

[ WHY BIFROST ]

Run Cloudbet through one governed gateway

Access control

Virtual keys, RBAC, and tool allowlists per team or agent.

Cost governance

Attribute MCP tool spend alongside LLM usage in one view.

Observability

Log every tool call with latency, server, and virtual key metadata.

Credential isolation

Upstream secrets stay in the gateway — not on every laptop.
